Cost: 140 Stamina
Damage: 90
Effect: The target is afflicted with 'Stunned', 'Receptive', and 'Prone' for one (1) turn.
Description: A seemingly simple technique of the crane style, the user throws their momentum forward; sending their body from tiptoeing on the ground skyward, hurtling towards their enemy. Their body is sent into the sky for only a second, and they swing out with their foot. If performed correctly, this technique is spoken as 'reminiscent of a crane or heron swooping for a fish', thus the origin of it's name. As such, it is an often used technique by Kirigakurans whom know the Crane Style, but it is a taxing movement to one's stamina and balance.

Type: Taijutsu [ Crane ]
Rank: Gennin
Cost: 56 Stamina
Damage: 20
Effect: The target is afflicted with 'Clobbered' for one (1) turn.
Description: This technique is initiated by first kneeling on one knee in front of the opponent and then flipping backwards; nailing them beneath the chin with the user's heel. While the opponent has momentarily left their abdomen exposed, the user dashes forward again. During the final step of the dash, the user begins to rotate and finishes the combo with a full roundhouse kick. This leaves the heel crushing into the opponent's belly. So called, because not only does it resembles the rising and falling of a tidal wave, but it also leaves the opponent shivering; unable to rest. This is due to minor internal damage that removes the ability to rest momentarily, but soon wears off.
